I believe NO! Because the child should be given the opportunity to be born. Every baby is meant to have a purpose and what if the baby is the one who can cure cancer or finds a cure to there own disease. It not only hurts the baby but hurts the parents as well. No baby should be conceived to sadly be murdered because they are different or have a disease.there is always a chance for a cure and they may be the best thing to ever happen to you. It is in my opinion not right take the babies life because they are not completely normal. They can still have a good life just a little different than most. Every family has their own normal. Life is precious and should be protected especially when the baby can’t defend itself or have the right to choose their own life. They solely rely on their mother which is to be their greatest protector and advocate to always protect and put their lives first. If the mother won’t believe in them or protect them who will? As a parent you choose to put someone’s life and safety in your hands no one would want to have been killed if that baby were them. Please don’t consider harming a baby that will need love and support more than ever. The baby will be different but different doesn’t have to be a bad thing it can be a positive thing if you make positive. I hope this helps or answers your question. I am by no means trying to offend you just expressing my thoughts on the topic and I respect you if you do not agree because I think everyone has a right to express their perspectives without being criticized I hope you can do the same. Thank you for reading my thoughts even if you do not agree I hope this may show you another perspective to consider. If you don’t mind me asking what made you decide to ask this question most people don’t like to hear answers about a topic that has many different perspectives for many people?

A patient's HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels are 62, 77, and 60, respectively. What is the patient's total cholesterol score? S
Len [333]

Answer:

Total cholesterol score is 199

199 is high cholesterol score especially as it very close to 200. The patient should adopt diets that do not include high cholesterol food

Explanation:

a. Firstly, we want to calculate the patient’s total cholesterol score.

To get this, we use a mathematical approach.

Mathematically;

the total cholesterol score = HDL + TDL + Triglyceride = 62 + 77 + 60 = 199

The patient’s total cholesterol score is 199

b. As a doctor, I will advice the patient on the status of these measurements. Using the scale of cholesterol level, a measurement of total cholesterol = 200 represents a high cholesterol level. Since 199 is very close to 200, the patient is at a risk of high cholesterol levels and thus needs a dietary change.

Imagine that a mutation in DNA produces a protein with a slightly different amino acid sequence. how would this mutation affect
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.

The mutation could result in three outcomes:

  1. Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
  2. Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
  3. Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.
